Chapter 791: Chapter 465 Human Immortal City

Zhou Li clasped his hands in return and replied with a genial and elegant smile, “It’s good that you are back! I’ve prepared a feast with our third ancestor and Jing Heng in the Mountain City ahead of time, just to welcome you back and dust off the road. Let’s not rest until we’ve had our fill of drink!”

“Brother Zhou, it won’t be easy to get me drunk! Only if that fine wine is the Drunk Immortal Drink, hidden away for a thousand years,” Zhao Sheng said jokingly.

“Haha, you hit the nail on the head! It is indeed the Drunk Immortal Drink. Each of us having a jar, we shall enjoy to the fullest. Remember, all the sages of old were lonely; only the drinkers leave their names behind!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li suddenly clasped his hands together, laughing heartily, a rare uninhibited side showing before others.

Just then, the neglected Zhao Jingheng suddenly stepped forward, bowed slightly to Zhao Sheng, and said with a serious tone, “Jing Heng greets Second Uncle.”

“Hmm, very good, very good, I am very pleased. With Jing Heng here, our Shen Character Lineage is sure to continue,” Zhao Sheng nodded and said with a face full of satisfaction.

After Zhao Sheng recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan years ago, he was placed by Zhao Xuanjing into the Shen Character Lineage, and Zhao Jingheng, as a descendant of a Holy Emperor, was naturally a core member of the Direct Lineage Clan Members of the Shen Character Lineage.

The title of Second Uncle hence came from this.

As for the head of this lineage, it was the fourth ancestor, Zhao Changsheng, who had gone to explore the Void and had not returned.

Hearing the praise, Zhao Jingheng’s expression didn’t change at all. He merely bowed again and then quietly stepped back behind Zhao Changdu, standing solemn and silent.

Zhao Sheng, with a smile on his face, seemed not to notice the other’s aloofness at all.

Zhao Changdu’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed heartily, “Let’s go, let’s go! No need to delay in the secret mansion. Let’s head to the Mountain City, where the banquet is already laid out. Today, we shall not return until we are drunk!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng deliberately showed a look of eagerness for the wine and urged, “What are we waiting for then? Third Ancestor, Brother Zhou, let’s hurry! My cravings have been stirred.”

“Haha!”

Amidst laughter, Zhao Sheng and the others transformed into streaks of light, flew into the stone gate embedded in the cliff face, and disappeared instantly.

Following Zhao Changdu, Zhao Sheng sped along the broad underground passage, flying rapidly downward.

Compared to a hundred years ago, this passage, initially carved out, had been expanded several times and was already nearly twenty zhang wide, with palaces and stone towers lined up on both sides, all shrouded in a faint Barrier of spirit light.

Zhao Sheng noticed that many Zhao Clan Members were coming in and out of the palatial towers, looking extremely busy.

However, a hundred years earlier, there had not been so many clan members living in the architectural complex beneath the secret mansion.

As the passage extended into the heart of the mountain, Zhao Sheng saw even larger clusters of buildings, and likewise, tens of thousands of Zhao Clan Members.

Suppressing his curiosity, Zhao Sheng silently followed behind Zhao Changdu, flying all the while.

In the span of several breaths, the four had flown over an underground passage extending more than three hundred li, and the end was now in sight.

Brightness flooded the area ahead; just beyond the Barrier of light at the threshold of the passage, Zhao Sheng’s view suddenly expanded!

An immense Mountain Cave Heaven laid bare before his eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng found it difficult to describe the shock in his heart or the majestic beauty of this Mountain Cave Heaven before him.

A Cave Heaven Spiritual Realm? Or an Otherworld Immortal City?

Every building within the city was crafted with such attention to detail, pleasing to the eye.

Tremendous pillars that touched the heavens and earth were prominent, standing amongst the city, occupying a central position.

The pillars had been carved into palatial buildings, emitting a gentle, cleansing light that provided the city with illumination.

These pillar towers bore a subtle resemblance to the Eight Diagrams Bright Tower in style, but each tower had its unique decorative details.

Surrounding the pillar towers, each street of the workshops below was designed with exquisite care; the corridors wound gracefully amidst green trees and fragrant grasses, not too vulgar, not too plain.

In this instance, humanity and nature achieved an astonishing harmony; truly a breathtaking scene at every step.

At a glance, this vast city within the mountain seemed to condense the cultures, peoples, and architectural styles of all the great continents into every workshop and street, as if blatantly flaunting the Divine Skill of the one who created this city!

If it were just these wonders, Zhao Sheng would have admired Zhao Xuanjing’s unmatched skills, but would not have felt a genuine shock.

What shocked him the most was how Zhao Xuanjing managed, with his methods, to construct a Great Array that was unprecedented in its integration with the city—beautiful while also being perfectly structured.

That’s right! The entire city was indeed a Great Array. Every building and street, even the plants and trees, had been ingeniously designed by Zhao Xuanjing to become essential elements of the Great Array.

Zhao Sheng, who was nearing the level of an Array Master, possessed extraordinary Eye Power and quickly saw through the High-level composite Great Array that was disguised behind countless beautiful scenes.

This Array was not only equipped with all Five Elements of offense and defense but also contained Array attributes such as life, death, illusion, and entrapment. Its grade was so high, and its principles so complex, that it ranked just below a few supreme arrays like the Heaven and Earth Law Net, the Cross-border Transmission Array, and the Ascension Array.

Beyond that, Zhao Sheng also recognized the styles of Three Grandmasters of array formation.

He even daringly guessed that the creation of this city could not have been done without immense assistance from Li Ziran, Liu Yishou, and Huang Yu.

Perhaps, this Great Array was constructed by the combined efforts of these Three Grandmasters and Zhao Xuanjing.

As the four flew into the city, Zhao Changdu noticed Zhao Sheng’s astounded expression and felt extremely proud, boasting slightly as he laughed, “What do you think of this city? I’m sure you’re also astonished, aren’t you!”

Zhao Sheng sincerely exclaimed, “Divine Skill, like nothing else in the world!”
